– Green Bay Packer Clay Matthews made his first appearance in a WWE ring at last night’s SmackDown tapings in Green Bay, in the main event where Edge defended the World Heavyweight Title against Dolph Ziggler with Vickie Guerrero as the referee.

After Vickie took a bump, Edge speared Dolph but there was no referee to count. Matthews appeared at the top of the ramp with a referee shirt on to a huge pop from the crowd. Matthews rushed down to the ring and counted the pin for Edge, allowing him to retain the World Title. One fan described the reaction Matthews got “ridiculous.”

SmackDown apparently ends this week with Matthews celebrating with a replica World Title belt while Edge celebrates with his real World Title. After the tapings ended, Edge and the Packers celebrated.
